Panaracer

My buddy and I have been riding these tires for years on dirt/gravel and love them. Seem to last forever. I've run them with butyl tubes, tubeless, and now TPU tubes. No issues. Even cleaned off the old sealant with crepe rubber erasers and went back to tubes. Really have no issues with them. Running directly behind someone on fine gravel they tend to pick up and throw some fines, so then move over 6 inches. Running on pavement is fine to get to the trails, relatively fast tires, and the small knobs actually seem to avoid punctures on pavement. Not cheap tires, but c'mon, they're Panaracers.

Hard to tell with just a few rides on these. I am using them with TPU tubes, 170 lb rider at 30 PSI. No issues so far. Ride quality is good although it feels like I can go even lower with the pressure. Bought to go a bit wider (went from 40's that measured 36 to these (45) that measure 44). I was looking for some more stability in some looser conditions, especially sandy shoulders, and to give a bit more grip when cornering (old tires were basically slicks with no side grippers.

Man, these are good looking. Sure, I had to use tire levers to get them on the rims, and it was a tight fit, but once seated, they accomplished their intended purpose with style. They're wide enough to be very comfy, and fast enough to let me rip along on pavement, but with a texture that keeps me from wiping out when iI hit dirt. You already know the GravelKings have been around forever, but once you're riding on them, you immediately know why they aren't just called GravelPrinces or GravelDukes. These are rubber royalty, and they're reliably rad.

I have used Panaracer SS tires on my gravel bike for a few years now. I have found the tires to be tough and long-lasting. In particular, on some routes I ride them on canal right-of-ways and ranch roads where the base gravel is a sharp basalt. I usually run them at 27 psi with 60 ml of Orange Seal. One real plus is I find them relatively easy to install and the tires seat easily before pressure reaches 70 psi or so (I use an old-as-the-hills Sears compressor, so air is not a problem). I have also used Panaracer SK tires, and find those to be great also, if you are looking for a center tread.
